A Late Medieval copper alloy Angel coin weight, dating to the reign of Edward IV (AD 1461-1483). The coin weight is circular and has a uniface decoration. The decorated side depicts the archangel Michael spearing a dragon. As this coin weight is very worn, all that can now be discerned is the outline of a winged figure, right arm raised. Circular angel coin weights are only found under the reign of Edward IV (Withers and Withers, 1993, 20-22), after which they become universally square.
